Tepava Ridge

Location of Aristotle Mountains on the Antarctic Peninsula.

Tepava Ridge (Bulgarian: хребет Тепава, ‘Hrebet Tepava’ \'hre-bet te-'pa-va\) is the narrow rocky ridge extending 7.55 km towards Sandilh Point to the east, 1.6 km wide, and rising to 600 m in eastern Aristotle Mountains on Oscar II Coast in Graham Land. It surmounts to the north and south the branches of Pequod Glacier flowing into Exasperation Inlet and Durostorum Bay respectively. The feature is named after the settlement of Tepava in Northern Bulgaria.
